Velocity Scheduling System Reviews & Testimonials

“We have reduced the time that it takes for a job to go through the shop. It helped us get control of the schedule, by reducing the scramble of jobs in the shop. Now we do them in order and everyone in the company knows when to expect a job to be worked on and ready to ship.”

“We were slightly different to most shops since we were from the UK and a custom printer. However despite these noticeable differences during the coaching sessions there have undoubtedly been many lessons learnt. We joined with a relatively good DDP (in the high 90%) and our primary objective was to gain more control of production throughput during peak production times. The program has made us question the processes we had in place and enabled us to focus on throughput by matching volumes with available capacity, it\'s amazing how often we forget there are a finite number of hours available. The program requires a discipline throughout the organisation and I would state that the 14 week program really provides the foundation to install VSS philosophy in a business. Also important is the work you conduct after the program that has the ability to cement this in to the culture of the business. If I had one piece of advice to give it would be to focus on getting the ideas implemented as opposed to the details, by doing so the results are quicker to come by. I would recommend any business involved in manufacturing custom made items to consider the VSS program.”

“We decreased the time it takes to get a job to get thru the shop. Using the visual VSS board gives all the employees a chance to see what is going on.”

“Dr. Lisa has provided us with a flexible shop “Operating System” that has provided many benefits to both our engineering and production departments. Chaos is down; visibility and speed through the shop are up. This allows management to make clearer decisions for both product planning and overall corporate strategy. I would definitely recommend the Velocity Scheduling System to other shops that know that they should be doing better. Dr. Lisa has the experience to show you how.”

“All the Velocity boards are up and running. For the very first time in the history of Bent River we delivered a “new to the world” designed machine in the nanno technology industry ahead of schedule and to budget. We have never done a project of that scope that well before. It only benefited by about half its life under Velocity, and it still made a REAL difference! Thank you!”

“Dr. Lisa, Thanks to your program Velocity Scheduling System Gulf has improved Delivery times, reduced rework, improved team work, improved cash flow, and it has really impressed our customers with such a planning system they can actually follow the progress of their job as it progresses threw the shop. The reduction in chaos has to be one of the best benefits to the program. No more putting out fires all the time. The proper planning and scheduling has really improved this aspect of our operation. This would be great for any shop to consider…….as long as it’s not my competition! Thanks again and we are looking forward to the Mafia Offer Program next Month.”

“I submit to you that there no software system capable of managing the schedule for a job shop optimally. In fact it is easy to be distracted with the idea that software will fix your issues, when the key to a good scheduling system is execution of a good system (not software that is). If you are looking for a true scheduling system that will "fill the holes" let me recommend Dr. Lisa Lang. She helped us install a true scheduling system that lead to significant productivity gains. What's great is that her system will utilize any of the aforementioned software systems. It's inexpensive and if you can spare 15 minutes watch her webinar and see if her theories don't rock your world.”

“Even as a small shop I found it difficult at times to keep the working flowing properly so we could meet our deliveries. Now we have everyone involved and with controlling our WIP and making sure that we have our full –kit issues resolved we find that jobs flow thru our shop a whole lot quicker and we have less fires to put out. I’d definitely recommend the program.”

“One of the first things that it does is forces you to look at and change your behaviors. We have been scheduling based on what we see, mentally, right in front of us. This creates daily fire drills. The system forces us to change this behavior. I also like how the system is so visual and you cannot miss it walking by.”

ERP Coordinator, Century

“The VSS system is so much more than a scheduling system. It touches on many different aspects of running a business. The program made us think about how we prioritized work and how we manage different customers. VSS really is a process for ongoing improvement.”
